Licences and fully insured Pony Party Experience that comes to you. Sparkles our little pony will arrive in a 3.5T horse box, so will need a suitable safe place to park and unload. Sparkles can fit into most situations, whether that be your front garden, back garden, car park, village green or on the beach. Sparkles and her buddies are part of the family and if any abuse is shown towards them whil
e attending your Pony Party Experience, we will unfortunately have to remove the pony from the situation straight away, and no refunds will be given. Sparkles is very clean and rarely make a mess, if she does it will be taken care of and scooped up in seconds. I am a British Horse Society Accredited Coach with over 40 years experience competing in show jumping and eventing, plus coaching children at pony club and riding schools. Over the past 27 years I have lectured in equine and animal care at local land-based colleges. Since coming out of lock-down I have decided it is now time to make dreams come true and offer a range of bespoke pony party experiences with our awesome mini Shetland 'Sparkles'.
